I too use MRWFormat for converting my RAW files (Minolta A1). I have found the new AutoProfile feature to be so good, that I am not using my profiles any more. This allows me to change interpolation algorithms and still get a good noise reduction without building 30 or so profiles. First shot, I use...

Try the AutoProfile feature in 4.1. It has saved me a load of time already. I use PS CS to Batch process the images. I am coming into PS from RAW files, so by batch processing, I cannot make any adjustments to exposure, etc. But, if I have an image that I really want to tweak, I can go back and do i...

I have found the new AutoProfile featur of 4.1 to be better thab the profiles that I have built. It also allows me to make adjustments in my RAW conversion that would have thrown off my profiles by changing the noise.

I downloaded 4.1 and it works great. Thanks!

Never got a response to this. Did you have a chance to check it?

I moved up from a Minolta Dimage S404 to an A1 a while back. This also ment changing over from JPEG to RAW format, which is why I made the move, along with more control. I immediately shot the test target at all the ISO settings and created custom profiles. I was having a lot of troubles getting the...

Well, I got my copy of CS, installed it, and immediately tested NI Pro. Have had no problems so far. I'm running Windows 2K.

I'm running 2.61, I'll let you know how it goes. I had preordered CS, so I must have been one of the early ships.

Hopefully when I get home tonight, a copy of Photoshop CS will be waiting for me. Have you tested with the new version yet?

I love this idea too. I have 2 different cameras, and a total of 9 ISO settings. I have built different Actions to do this, but that means I have to organize folders by ISO.

Please put this one on your "soon" list.

Thanks,

I shoot quite a few pics per week, so I need to automate as much as possible. I have written a set of actions (based on camera and ISO), that can be batch executed in PS 6.0.1. They all perform the same steps: First the JPG or TIF file is opened and converted to the correct color profile (I use Best...

I don't know why, but when I reply to a topic (thread) the Subject is not automatically copied into the message. I have to copy the subject to the clipboard (windows 2000), then paste it into the message. Is it supposed to be this way?

John F.

Yes, these are shown in the action. However, at least in windows, you have to expand the NI line in the action to see them. If a user does not do this, they may not notice. Therefore, I thought it was worth a mention. This is also consistant with the PS desciption of an action, which indicates that ...

I get it in the pluggin too, if my input file is the JPG from the camera. Once I save as a PSD, it's gone. I speek from Windows only.

This could all be put together in an Action to simplify. Since the first thing I do after retrieving and archiving my pics is to run NeatImage, I have an action that opens the original JPGs, runs NI with the correct Profile for that camera, Inserts my copyright notice, and saves it in another folder...
